Photo #2 shows drilling the hole and photo #3 shows the finished wrist pin. In photos #4 & #5, a pin is being made to locate the connecting rod in the vertical mill. This was done to get the proper orientation of the connecting rod so the wrist pin bushing can be bored to size...

On 04/19/03 Mike Fuoco came over my shop to help out on getting the (3) sideshafts completed for the 60 HP Flickinger Compressor Engine. In the next (14) photos you can see some of the work we completed on the sideshafts and also the governor. While all this work was going on we still managed to make a few more passes through the corliss box with the boring bar on the Lucas Horizontal Mill. Hope you enjoy the photos. You will see everything from setting the vertical mill up for boring the governor housing, sanding and polishing the sideshafts in the lathe, milling the keyway slots, and reaming the governor belt pulley...
